A wheel and axle is a wheel attached to a rod. When the wheel spins, the axle spins too. A wheel and axle can make a push or pull bigger. When you push on the wheel, the wheel pushes on the axle. Wheel and axles easily moves objects that people could not move. The wheel is one of the most important inventions in history.
CLASSROOM EXAMPLES OF A WHEELAND AXLE:
This is a model car that we built in class. As you can see, it has a wheel and axle in the back. The wheel turns with the axle, thus moving it forward.
This is an example of a classroom example. Basically, there are two large gray wheels attached to a paper clip.
Real Life Examples!
This is a steering wheel.

Alicia and Natalie are demonstrating the simple machine Wheel and Axle! Hope you enjoy the video! WRITING PROMPT:
Can you imagine having to drag heavy loads back and forth everyday, or for the rest of your life?! The simple machine wheel and axle gives us a mechanical advantage. With wheel and axles, you can reduce the weight of the load you are dragging or carrying. Wheels and axlesmake less friction and help things get from one place to another easier. Lots of vehicles have wheel and axles now, like cars and trucks. They are in your convenience!
